Is remembering a fact enough if a child cannot use it somewhere new?
No. Useful learning has to be accessible beyond the exact practice item. Retrieval practice and mixed practice can support flexible access, but transfer still depends on understanding the underlying mathematical relationships.[1][2]
Tokuでの活かし方
Toku can vary question forms and later mix related skills so the same knowledge has to be recognised and used in more than one surface form.
研究で分かっていること
お子さまにとってなぜ大切か
Your child gets practice retrieving a skill without relying on a single repeated wording or obvious cue.
保護者の方へ
The end goal is flexible access: having the knowledge available when a different problem needs it.
